SCN General Meetings

[Doug Tooley]

Hi All-

As soon as the marketplace effort is complete my next project is to 
connect SCN, and ISPs, with 'newbies' through a standing orientation 
session that could have full presentations on net history as well as 
technical instruction and account creation.

This should have a solid period of advance promotion and your comments as 
to how to best approach this issue would be greatly appreciated.
